List Thanksgiving movies worth watching
I'm having trouble thinking of ones that aren't overly sentimental, but I'm sure good ones are out there. I enjoyed "Pieces of April" and the Jodi Foster directed one from a few years back with Holly Hunter and Robert Downey Jr.... Home for the Holidays?
Any others with Thanksgiving scenes that you people like?

4. I think "Miracle on 34th Street" begins as a Thanksgiving movie
It starts with the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade and goes thru Christmas Day. I recommend the original though with Maureen O'Hara, Edmund Gwenn and little Natalie Wood.

9. "Home For the Holidays" gets my vote.
Great fun, and it hits home in more ways than one.

I used to hate the older sister, until I realized that I'm really a lot more like her than I would care to admit.
